Juliana Riccardi Music Group Professional Artists and Performers for Hire JULIANA RICCARDI MUSIC GROUP PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS FOR HIRE. ALL WEDDINGS, CORPORATE AND PRIVATE EVENTS www.julianariccardimusicgroup.com 1 [email protected] ©JULIANA RICCARDI MUSIC GROUP Attracting clients who are creative minded and innovative in their planning, here lies the alternative to mainstream cover bands. Juliana Riccardi's Music Group, also known as JRMG, is an honest, dedicated group of New York City music artist professionals bringing style, class, and creativity to live music entertainment. Ran by singer, songwriter and performer, Juliana Riccardi, this group focuses on building eclectic sets of music reproduced in an original way that best lends itself to a natural 'live' sound rather than a Top 4O cover band emulating studio pop music. Versatility has helped Juliana Riccardi Music Group cater to both intimate and elaborate events of all styles. Not like many working bands, JRMG's members work with original artists full time and are tightly knit and consistent, making the quality of the music strong and their personality warm. Often enhancing the most intimate of moments is the core acoustic duo that drives the uniquely organic sound of JRMG. Their classic duo features the female voice of Juliana and acoustic guitar or piano and is the starting point for clients building trios, quartets and full bands to meet their personal tastes. Another atypical characteristic offered is modern style cello. With the acoustic based ensembles, cello is played on pop, rock and other popular genres of music adding to JRMG'S signature sound. Using a cleverly eclectic set list, including the artist’s originals, each song performed is refreshingly new yet recognizable. Enhanced with harmony, unique production and a mixture of widely textured instruments, JRMG recreates classic and modern pop, rock, jazz, folk and soul. With a combination of each player’s individual musicality and their experiences in the modern day music scene, Juliana Riccardi Music Group sets a new standard of artistic entertainment. They vouch to you an unforgettable energy, intimacy, and memory for every listening ear. Currently touring the City, Juliana is a full time singer, songwriter and performer who has built a family of professional artists who, like her, are committed to performing and living an honest, colorful and dynamic expression of music. *New York Magazine Wedding Edition has featured our music group in the winter season of 2009-2010.

  • Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love
    Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love Careless Love is perhaps the most enduring of traditional folk songs. Of obscure origins, the song’s message is that “careless love” could care less who it hurts in the process. Although the lyrics have changed from version to version, the words usually speak of the pain and heartbreak brought on by love that can take one totally by surprise. And then things go terribly wrong. In many instances, the song’s narrator threatens to kill his or her errant lover. “Love is messy like a po-boy – leaving you drippin’ in debris.” Now, this concept of love is not the sentiment of this author, but, for some, love does not always go right. Countless artists have recorded Careless Love. Rare photo of “Buddy” Bolden Lonnie Johnson New Orleans cornetist and early jazz icon Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden played this song and made it one of the best known pieces in his band’s repertory in the early 1900s, and it has remained both a jazz standard and blues standard. In fact, it’s a folk, blues, country and jazz song all rolled into one. Bessie Smith, the Empress of the Blues, cut an extraordinary recording of the song in 1925. Lonnie Johnson of New Orleans recorded it in 1928. It is Pete Seeger’s favorite folk song. Careless Love has been recorded by Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Fats Domino recorded his version in 1951. Crescent City jazz clarinetist George Lewis (born Joseph Louis Francois Zenon, 1900 – 1968) played it, as did other New Orleans performers, such as Dr.

LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Tenor saxophonist, bandleader, and financial planner, Ed Dix was born in Kansas City in 1930. He began playing clarinet at age five, but switched to tenor sax at fourteen. While in high school, he toured the U.S. in bands styled after Glenn Miller’s. He was, himself, influenced by the playing of Lester Young, the tenor saxophonist in Count Basie’s band. For the first years of his adult life, Dix continued to tour in bands. It was Mary Ann (Dix’s wife, married 1950) who got him an audition for the Ralph Flanagan Band, with which he toured throughout the country – even playing at the Palladium. Dix also led a band of his own: The Eddie Dix Orchestra (“Music That Clicks with Dix”).

  • 5 Blue Note Jazz Festival Shows You Shouldn't Miss
    5 Blue Note Jazz Festival Shows You Shouldn’t Miss By Elizabeth Bougerol May 10, 2011 We’re a little more than two weeks away from the kick-off of the inaugural Blue Note Jazz Festival, the month long event marking the 30th anniversary of the storied venue. More than 80 artists — including some, like Lee Konitz, who have been Blue Note regulars since the club opened — will be performing at venues all over the city, but naturally, we have some favorites. Here’s our take on five shows you shouldn’t miss: McCoy Tyner Trio+ Special Guest Savion Glover, June 1, Highline Ballroom (2 shows) Grammy-stockpiling ivory-tinkler McCoy Tyner is joined by Tony-reaping choreographer/modern day tap-hoofer Savion Glover. Their work together tends to whip audiences into a froth, so it’s no surprise they open the festival, joined by the rest of the McCoy Tyner Trio. Tickets are $75, available here. Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, June 11-13, Highline Ballroom The batty Beach Boy will perform his 2010 standards album, Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, in its entirety along with Beach Boys and solo selections, before heading off on lengthy tours through Canada and Europe. Tickets are $125, available here. Dave Brubeck, June 13, Blue Note Do you have any idea how long piano kingpin Dave Brubeck has been playing jazz? Here’s one hint: Almost everyone he’s played with is dead. And another: He celebrated the 50th --50th!-- anniversary of his iconic album Time Out in 2009. And yet the master of the odd time signature can’t stop gigging.

    Glenn Miller Orchestra brings serenade sounds to UCSD's Price Center Ballroom at 8 P.M. March 8 February 13, 1998 Media Contact: Ruth Baily at University Events, (619) 534-0497, [email protected] or Jan Jennings, (619) 822-1684, [email protected] GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA BRINGS SERENADE SOUNDS TO UCSD'S PRICE CENTER BALLROOM AT 8 P.M. MARCH 8 The classic sounds of Moonlight Serenade will fill the Price Center at the University of California, San Diego when the Glenn Miller Orchestra performs March 8 beginning at 8 p.m. The most sought after Big Band in the world, constantly on the road, the Glenn Miller Orchestra returns to UCSD after two years, and now, as then, invites easy listening, and better yet, dancing in the Price Center Ballroom. Trombonist Larry O'Brien directs the 19-member band including five saxophone players, four trumpeters, four trombonists, three rhythm musicians (piano, bass and drums) and two vocalists. The results original Glenn Miller arrangements, as well as modern selections, many of them in the big-band style. "Mostly we play the old songs," says O'Brien. "We manage to insert new ones from time to time, but these are songs that lend themselves to the Miller sound." In addition to Miller's theme song, Moonlight Serenade, originally written by the musician as an exercise for a course in arranging long before he organized his band in 1938, golden oldies include Stardust, Rhapsody in Blue, A String of Pearls, Tangerine, The Nearness of You, Come Rain or Come Shine, Begin the Beguine and Chattanooga Choo Choo.

  • Black Lace Freudian Slip - All About Jazz CD Review
    Rene Marie - Black Lace Freudian Slip - All About Jazz CD Review http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/review_print.php?id=40710 Skip to navigation Skip to content Skip to sidebar Skip to footer Sign In I'm New Here Articles Sounds Calendar Forum Guides News People Photos Contact Rene Marie - Black Lace Freudian Slip - All About Jazz CD Review Rene Marie (Motéma Music) By Dan Bilawsky Budding jazz instrumentalists are often told that they need to find their own voice but, ironically, those who use their actual voices are often expected to adhere to the sonic standards of those who came before. Fans and press who value originality in jazz instrumentalists wring their hands in frustration when more John Coltrane clones come into the picture but, on the other side of the coin, the masses applaud and herald singers with voices crafted in the images of jazz icons (e.g. Madeleine Peyroux's Billie Holiday-like voice), creating a double standard that does a disservice to those singers who don't fall in line. While the ability to interpret songs from The Great American Songbook, and understand and borrow musical mannerisms from notable artists, has undeniable merit, vocalists like the one and only Rene Marie deserve to be measured for their originality in voice, spirit and song. Marie's steadfast commitment to her own vision of music has won her wide acclaim for a string of fine recordings, and placed her in controversial situations, as with her “Lift Every Voice” rewrite of “The Star Spangled Banner,” but she always remains confident in her artistic decisions, never letting populist ideals or the changing winds of the music industry sway her from her chosen path.
